[Balls_out_PB]

Hi guys.

I own a shop in souther california and all the time people come in andask me what are the best way to upgrade their gun. I realy have a lot trouble answering this since everyones style and needs are diffrent. So, I the ultimate Upgrade kit. All my customers do is fill out a short quitonere with basic questions about their gun and style and I acess this info and design their Pakage based on this info. So I have a question for you guys, this is primarely for guys who have not upgraded their guns yet. How many of you guys like this idea? If so would you ever consider purchising this kit? Please post your responce I realy want to know what you guys think. If You want to know more about the kit or would like to actually build one please email me @ OC_punk21@msn.com and ill be pleased to answere any questions you have or get you started on your own custom kit.

Thanks
Tres

Honestly, and not to be discouraging or anything, but an ultimate upgrade kit is a rather bad idea imo.

Mainly because of the following.
With the ammount of markers available, very few people will buy one selected kit with certain parts, and putting together a kit for the most common markers would be again, problematic, as everyone is going to upgrade their markers differently.

The only common thing that I think everyone does right off the bat is barrel.

Cockers, spyders and tippman's alone, which i see as the most common beginner guns(including spyder clones), have an insane ammount of upgrades.

You could put together probably 1000+ kits for each marker. Best thing I think you could do is be honest with your customers. Tell them what has worked for you, ask them where they want to go with the marker, if they want to go low pressure, if they want more accuracy, less chopping, more consistency etc.

The big things I look for personally are accuracy, consistency and ease of maintenence. I dont like having to rip the guts out of a marker to clean it(i love my angel and cocker). Granted thats not much of an option with some of the markers out, but its going to depend heavily on what that customer wants to do.

I would lean towards learning more about the parts you stock, what their capable of, and being as informed as you can about your stock.
Take em out, find out what you like about em, and convey that to the customer. Even newbies will have a good sense of when someone is trying to sell em something that they probably wont be happy with.

Just my $0.02

maybe u could do a custom upgrade by having them select certain parts ............. tell them which is better for which and have them choose all the parts ....... i dunno just thought i'd put my 2 cents in
